Second Cycle Ideas?

at the end of week 8 for my first cycle which is Test E/Dbol. Week 9 starts tomorrow and so far I'm up 20 lbs from my starting weight. Surprisingly I didn't lose much weight after stopping dbol? like I saw the water "look" leave but tangible weight wise the scale didn't change.... Now here is where it get confusing.... I know the standard second cycle tends to be Test/Deca or variation of some sort. I'm trying to do a lean bulk because I figured I was gaining too much fat so I was gonna go the dumb route and run Tren cause I wasn't worried about the sides.... but after taking a picture of myself today, I see differently. I still wanna pack on more mass so I came to the conclusion Test/EQ or Test/Deca. problem is I really dont want to run a 14-16 week cycle with EQ and Im terrified of Deca dick and gaining a ton of water. What do you guys think?

Stats:
6'2
roughly 220 (as of recently. Still haven't lost any water weight yet cause still on cycle)

Dont mind EOD pinning but the only problem is I still currently still have enough test E for the next 3 cycles. pharm grade too. so definitely wont be going with prop. also figure if I go with Nandrolone I might as well go with Deca to stack with the Enan over NPP right? Also didn't need Adex cause I never got side effects and judging by the pictures I didn't really gain much water retention either. see why this is so hard for me to decide? Either way I appreciate your input

lol thanks. Also trapz, have you ran deca or eq yourself? do you think running eq for 14-16 weeks is a better replacement than possibly running into Deca dick or is deca dick not as pronounced as people on the internet make it seem?

Yeah I have run both. Deca gave me some libido issues as I ran test too low for my own personal preference. But it wasn't that pronounced really and is now very much rectified.
EQ for 16 weeks is what i'm finisihing up on now, the gains are not as great as Deca but are harder, and i'm more vascular so it depends which you would prefer really.

didn't have any problems getting it up on deca, did carry some extra water though even with .5mg a-dex everyday and I'm not a fan of looking bloated lol. Diet had to be super strict or I got soft as a motherfucker :P

I say go with tren if that's what your heart desires, stick with ace and if the sides become too much then drop the dose. Make sure you use caber and of course eat tons of food and it'll still be a nice bulk

lol thats what I was thinking..but I know I always hear the "no tren till atleast 3rd cycle". I mean I think physique wise I could go there and alot of people tell me im not exactly the classic newb and I've done most of the research regarding tren as well.

Anyways...thanks for the input guys. Appreciate all who tried to help. Over the past few days I looked more into Tren and honestly even tho I feel I am ready to combat the sides, I dont think Im advanced enough to be running tren. might as well save it for later down the road when I NEED it. all the experienced users here seem to also agree with this concept and the people around me my whole life who survived always told me to "listen to the old heads. they know their shit". I think I will go with a Test E/Abombs cycle this time around seeing as I think I still need to put on more mass and I believe Drol with a tuned bulking diet will help with that. Once again thanks
